find all references to virtual method [message #1017145]

The "Find references" command for a Java method finds only places where this method is explicitly called -- not those where it may be called through an interface as a virtual method. Is there a command to find all possible invocations of a given method in the codebase? I understand that there will be some false positives, but I want to make sure no possible invocation is missed.

Thanks,

ilya

Hi,

With the "Ctrl+Shift+g" shortcut you have access to the "Find References" action, what you are looking for is the "Call Hierarchy" of a specific method. Select your method and use the shortcut "Ctrl+Alt+h". It will open the call hierarchy view where you can easily navigate your code to see all calls to your method as you can see it in the following screenshot.

For more tips and tricks on the Eclipse Java Development Tools, have a look at the various article that I have written here.
